INTRODUCTION :

This page presents some links to videos on mathematics subjects --- especially videos of animations of fractals, polyhedrons, fluid flow, etc. (Some of the links to animations may be done via animated-GIF files instead of movie files.)

Also there may be videos of lectures on mathematical subjects --- especially lectures that may explain how some of the math animations can be created.

Many of these videos are on YouTube and can be found by doing searches on key phrases such as 'polyhedron', 'fractal animation', 'fluid flow simulation', etc.

SORRY ABOUT THE ADS PLACED AT THE FRONT OF THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS. I HATE ADS --- ESPECIALLY ONES THAT CAN'T BE DISMISSED WITHIN A FEW SECONDS.

The links below are in groups such as

I may place some of my favorites near the top of each section. That may be the only ordering of the video links.

SEARCHING THIS PAGE :

If you are looking for some particular information, you can use the text search function of your web browser.

For example, if you are looking for information on 'polygons' --- or on specific polygons such as 'triangles', 'quadrilaterals', 'pentagons', or 'hexagons', enter a keyword such as 'polygon', 'triangle', 'tria', 'quad', 'pentagon', 'pent', 'hexagon', or 'hex' in the text search entry field of your web browser.

Some other keywords to try: 'polyhedron', 'fractal', 'fluid', 'flow', 'perspective', 'projection', 'differential', 'infinit', 'surface', 'algebra', 'geometry', 'series', 'product', 'sum', ...

THE WONDERMENT OF IT ALL :

Mathematics offers many occasions for wonderment at the logical and geometric beauties of that subject matter --- and wonderment at some of the nobler accomplishments that are possible from the minds of humans.

The development of mathematical knowledge over the centuries is an amazing human achievement. It is one of the 'purer' pursuits of man.

Mathematics, like art, provides galleries of wondrous creations (or discoveries) --- galleries based on subjects such as 2D geometry, 3D geometry, number theory, complex numbers, quaternions (complex numbers on steroids), theory of solving equations and the related group theory, permutations and combinations, probability theory, graph theory, set theory, combinatorics, game theory, topology, computing/automata theory, code breaking and secure encoding, probability, paradoxes, etc. etc.

Enjoy mathematical videos on these subjects!

Here are some videos found by searches on phrases such as 'fractal animation'.

  • Animated Quasicrystal (5 min) by Richard Hennigan.
    "A quasiperiodic crystal, or, put succinctly, quasicrystal, is a structure that is ordered but not periodic. A quasicrystalline pattern can continuously fill all available space, but it lacks translational symmetry. While crystals, according to the classical crystallographic restriction theorem, can possess only two, three, four, and six-fold rotational symmetries, the Bragg diffraction pattern of quasicrystals shows sharp peaks with other symmetry orders, for instance five-fold. This quasicrystal has 29-fold rotational symmetry and is made by rotating 29 plane waves by pi/n for n=1 to 29 and adding them all together." Hennigan has posted other quasicrystal animations.

  • Transfering (sic) buckyball to planer (sic) graph (16 sec) by takashiyoshinorw.
    'takashiyoshinorw' has posted other polyhedral animations --- such as Optimized Cofiguration of 30 Charged Particles on Sphere (Steepest Descent) (9 sec).
